Houston Chronicle: Why bother paying for news you've already heard...

Wed, 20 Mar 2002 01:24:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jwimberley - The biggest problem with the Houston Chronicle is that it has no competition. Because it is the only newspaper in the fourth largest city in America it doesn't feel that it has to try to find news. The publisher is content to just follow the lead of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jwimberley - This movie has been my favorite since I first saw it as a young child.
